The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 68 Life in the County 28
"I changed the sheets, and I took a new quilt. These are the clothes I washed..."
Willow was busy handing things to Li Fulang. He changed all the kangs. They made two beddings when they got married. Only the men would make them when they came back. They were cleaned and put away on weekdays.
"Thank you." Li Zhouzhou thanked him. After washing his face and body, he changed into Liu Fulang's clothes. Liu Fulang was slightly shorter than him, and the clothes could be worn.
"You're welcome." Willow was going to pour water, Li Zhouzhou said to come by himself, Willow picked up the water basin and ran, saying as he ran, "No, no, you can go back to the kang for a rest."
Li Zhouzhou could not help but smile on his face.
Li Da and Yan's father sat on the kang chatting, talking about crops, Gu Zhao came out to play with his wife, saw his wife was smiling, and couldn't help but leaned over and said sourly: "What are you talking about? You are so happy to laugh."
"Liu Fulang has a hearty personality, is also warm, and is quite cute."
Gu Zhao stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Zhou's finger, while moaning, "I'm not Zhou Zhou's cutest little husband anymore, I'm sad."
In Yan's house, Gu Zhao was quite restrained, otherwise he would just rub his head against his wife's chest muscles.
Li Zhouzhou knew that Xianggong was teasing him, but he never hurt him. He let him play with his fingers and said, "No, Xianggong is the cutest."
"Zhou Zhou is also the cutest." Gu Zhaoxiao was satisfied.
It was late, it was dark, and it was not easy to burn oil lamps at Yan's house, so Gu Zhao had a conversation with his wife, and then they went back to their houses to rest.After the willow tree finished pouring water and put the pots in, when he came back, he heard Gu Xiucai talking cuddly with Li Fulang, so he said that he had only seen his brother be so clingy with his own man, but never the other way around.
I couldn't help being shocked, and then admired Li Fulang even more.
Why is he so capable, if his man can talk to him like this on weekdays, and serve him comfortably like a master, don't just chant sutras in his ear all day long.
Thinking about it, Willow felt that the day was comfortable.
"I saw Gu Xiucai talking to you just now." Liu Shu tied the door, "I came over after pouring the water, and I only saw it when I got closer. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the corner of the two of you."
Li Zhouzhou: ...
"I'll blow up the oil lamp later, don't waste it, you go to the kang and find a good place, don't fall." The willow tree is still under the kang, and there is only such an oil lamp in his house. His mother-in-law and grandma have rested early, so let him use it. Light up, take care of Li Fulang.
Li Zhouzhou got on the kang and said, "Actually, I can see better at night with the light, so I won't fall."
"Really?" Willow had already blown out the oil lamp, and climbed up the kang, one person away from Li Fulang, he was afraid that Li Fulang would not be used to sleeping with strangers, so he almost stopped, the boards were lying flat and covered, "If you think of the night, call me, let's go together, but I'm a sleeper, don't be shy, just give me two punches."
Li Zhouzhou laughed, "How can I hit you, I don't usually get up at night."
"Hey, me too. If I don't drink a lot of water at night, I can sleep until the cock crows in the morning. If the farming is busy, it won't work. Last year I harvested rice for a day and a night." Liu Shu said with a proud tone, he is amazing.
Li Zhouzhou: "It's tiring. I used to work in the field for half a night. At that time, the old man in the village said that there must be heavy rain the next day. The clouds looked dense and there were two acres of land left, so I had to work hard. .”
"Are you working in the crops too?" The willow tree lifted up from the straight-lying position of the board, and turned its face towards the inside, "I heard the man say that you are recruiting a son-in-law, and I thought your family's conditions were better, so it must be because of a solid family background. Brother, why are you still working in the fields?"
The family has a rich background and a thick brother doesn’t like to do farm work. They are all like girls. They raise pigs, feed chickens, cook, wash and wash clothes. Willow is enviable.
He was exhausted, he had to work in the fields and cook, and he had to be run over by his sister-in-law to eat too much.Of course, the willow tree went back.Naturally, A Niang grabbed her ears and scolded her, how could she talk to my sister-in-law like that.
What's the matter, she said, I can eat pigs without me, why can't I say that she is a dog and a mouse meddling in her own business!
A Niang just said him, and you scolded yourself.
Willow doesn't care, that sister-in-law is also a dog!
"It's a long story to talk about the situation in my family." Li Zhouzhou just raised his head to explain, relying on the light coming in through the window paper, he saw Liu Fulang's eyes wide open, looking like he was waiting for him to say something, then... let's talk.Anyway, I can't sleep, so it's good to chat.
Li Zhouzhou has a good impression of Liu Fulang, both of them don't look like brothers, and they both do farm work, Liu Fulang's straightforward words are very interesting.
"My father left early. When I was four or five years old, my father took me to separate the family..."
Liu Shu feels that his life is hard, but after listening to Li Fulang, what is he suffering? The elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are also partial, but at least they disappeared early—ah, bah, I can’t think so.
Li Fulang said it simply, and ended the talk about the hard life with his father in one or two sentences, but Liu Shu is a brother, and he also does farm work. He lived a hard life, so how could he not know the difficulties in it.Later, I heard Li Fulang say that after saving money, it is difficult to get married when he is old, so his father recruited him a son-in-law——
"Me too, there are gossips in the village saying that I am ugly because I don't look like a brother, but I was so angry that my teeth itch and I was scolded back, but I have brothers and sisters in my family, and it's not my turn to carry on the Liu family. I have no money If you want a son-in-law, you can only get married."
Willow said he was in good spirits, and sat up, "Later, when I was almost eighteen, the matchmaker in the village came to my door and told me that the man in my family was really poor, and that the current house was built because I couldn't live in it when I got married. .”
"My man was twenty at the time, and the matchmaker told my mother that he was not very old, and that it would be best to match the top of a small tree. He also said that he was good at studying. He looked like a scholar, and he would be able to boast about his talents in the future. When we got married, my man came to my house to welcome the bride , I took a look, and thought to myself at the time: I haven’t read a book, but I’ve seen what a scholar looks like, he doesn’t look like a black-faced god, that guy’s arms are hard and fleshy, and they are stronger than my elder brother who has dry crops.”
"I thought it must be the matchmaker bragging about my family, but who told me that my family has too many children, and the whole family has no money to build a house. If I leave, I can make room and save a mouthful of food."
Liu Shu was really worried at the time, the man was very scary at first glance.
But Liu Shu didn't know that the matchmaker boasted that Yan Jingxin was "scholar-like" and "learned and capable" at his house.When the matchmaker arrived at Yan's house, she praised the willow tree, saying that the willow tree was just the right age, and although it didn't look outstanding, it worked hard——
Some people in the village are relatives of the people in the village of Liu's family, and they said that the child Liu Shu has been very aggressive since he was a child.Yan's mother was afraid that she would find a powerful daughter-in-law, so she whispered: Is this person powerful...
Before the words could be fulfilled, the matchmaker stopped him with a thunderbolt: Xiao Shu spoke more briskly, but when he was blunt, things would happen. From now on, he will be caught inside and outside the house, so that Scholar Yan can concentrate on his studies. This is a trivial matter. Trees can do it.
The Yan family immediately felt good when they heard it, and they believed that they were already 21, and they were almost [-], so they dared not delay.As soon as the Yan family was shaken, the matchmaker saw it, and immediately made arrangements quickly. It took less than a month for the Yan family to build the house.
The Liu family wanted to get rid of this powerful firefighter brother, and blow it up at any point. Except for the parents, no one would show face if they provoked him.The Yan family was worried that their son was going to be old and difficult, and they were really poor, so it would be nice to marry a brother.
At that time, the Yan family did not think that their son would be a scholar. At that time, they heard that it was difficult to be a scholar.As a result, within two years after Xiaoshu entered the school, Jinxin was selected as a scholar.
"The man in my family won the prize of a scholar, saying that I am a scholar's husband. When I returned to my mother's house, I straightened my back, but I haven't been in the limelight for a few times, and the work in the field is still the same." Willow lay back again, " Now the villagers are still choking me with words, they are only allowed to whisper bad things about me behind my back, if I say it back, they will say that I look like a shrew, and I will definitely divorce me when I am a high-ranking official."
Li Zhouzhou knew these village idioms, and said earnestly, "Probably not, my family's husband said that Second Brother Yan is very reliable and valuable."
The Yan family has no money and is a poor peasant family, but a person's character is not linked to how much money he has.
Li Zhou and Zhou Xin spoke to each other.
"Now I believe him, but who knows later, I used to go to the town to watch the excitement. Yuanwailang's mother celebrated her birthday, and even invited a storyteller to be lively at the door. Being a high-ranking official and one wife are not enough, and you need a few concubines and maidservants." Anyway, it’s quite romantic.” After Liu Shu finished speaking, he felt wrong, “I’m not saying that Gu Xiucai is also like this, but, it’s just that I don’t know what to do.”
Li Zhouzhou is a trustworthy husband, and he can understand Liu Fulang's uneasiness, saying: "I just got married to my husband, but in fact, some people in the village murmured that they didn't like it, saying that my husband was trying to test my house, yard and money. Once you get rich and pass the exam, you will be appointed to get rid of my family."
"Ah?" Liu Shu was surprised, but he could figure it out after thinking about it, "These bitches, uncles, what business do they have?"
"At that time, I was panicked and scared, but later on I was not afraid, and my heart was at ease."
"Why?" Willow also wanted to learn.
Li Zhouzhou said: "I get along with my husband every day. Naturally, I know better than the outsiders in the village what he is like. Of course I believe in him. You and your family have less gatherings and more separation. You listen to those people behind the scenes all day long. It’s not good to murmur, but it won’t be affected.”
"It seems that they poked me with this because they said they couldn't do it. They just wanted to see me laugh. I knew it in my heart, but I still got angry. Then my man came back. In order to get angry, he tossed me hard three times a night. If I do this again and again, my waist will almost break, but in order to prove that a man doesn't dislike me, I have to bear it, but I'm exhausted." Willow muttered.
Li Zhouzhou: ...
He thought of himself.
"Did I talk too much, I couldn't hold it back, I wouldn't talk about it with others." Willow shyly laughed, "I just think you are close, capable and powerful, and I can't hold it back."
Li Zhouzhou was also a little embarrassed, Liu Fulang said everything, he also listened, but fortunately the room was dark, so he said: "Actually, I was the same as you at the beginning, but my husband-in-law was young, and he was just married at that time. If you talk too much, you won't be tall—”
"Ah?!" Willow was frightened, and then thought again, "Don't grow anymore, my men are as tall and strong as the black-faced god, I can't bear to grow taller, and I'll be fine now."
Fortunately, Liu Fulang interrupted, and Li Zhouzhou almost said that the matter between Xianggong and him is much better now, and it is a bit more difficult than before.He never said this before, it must have been chatting in the bed at night when it was dark, and he forgot.Li Zhouzhou felt embarrassed, and changed the subject to say goodbye, "Actually, I'm not good at it. My husband-in-law figured out the stewed recipe."
"It's just that you are amazing. Your husband-in-law thought about the recipe, but you can't do it yourself when you open a shop and do business." Liu Shu felt envious of Li Fulang's hard work and supporting the family. "If I were like You'll be just fine."
I am nervous about eating meat at home.
Li Zhouzhou: "Don't you want to go to the prefecture?"
"I want to go." Willow sat talking to Li Fulang, "But if I leave, I'm afraid that my family will be bullied. Besides, the prefecture and county are expensive. When my man comes back, he never says that paper is expensive and pens are expensive. Okay, okay, but I'm not a fool, as far as we eat and drink in the town, that's the same amount, let alone Dafu County, I have no place to live in the past, and I have to eat—"
"Food and lodging included." Li Zhouzhou remembered that he hadn't told Liu Fulang about this yet. His family arrived in the afternoon and evening, and after reading Xinyan, the family began to make arrangements for dinner, bedding and accommodation, and feeding the mules. Black is washing and boiling water, it seems that I have no time to talk about this.
Li Zhouzhou thought it was wrong, followed Liu Fulang to explain clearly: "I rented a courtyard next to my house, my house has four main rooms, one is used as a shop for business, and the remaining three rooms are used by myself. I couldn't stretch it out, so I rented the three yards next door for two years, planning to use two for business and one for sleeping."
"If you come over, you can sleep in that room. My house is two or three minutes away from Qingping Academy. It's not safe for you to live alone. Your husband can also come together..."
On the other side, in father Yan's kang room.
Yan's father hadn't fallen asleep yet. In the past, he fell asleep on the kang as soon as it got dark, but today there is Gu Xiucai here. Gu Xiucai is different from his son in that he looks like a real scholar. He sleeps and snores. Afraid of disturbing Gu Xiucai.
The three of them are tall and they sleep sideways, so there is a lot of space, and it is just right for Yan's father to fall asleep. Li Da and Gu Zhao's feet are hanging in the air, but they shrink their legs and shrink them, so they can make do with one night.
Gu Zhaoneng noticed that his father and Yan father were not asleep, and he couldn't sleep, so he couldn't help but talk about the things in the academy, mainly about the daily life of the second brother Yan, so that Yan father should not be tense and relax.
The child was studying outside and did not come back for a long time. When he came back, Yan Jingxin believed that his temperament was not talking about daily life with his parents at home. Parents are not talkative and honest, but they are serious about worrying about their children.
No, Gu Zhao made a head start, Yan’s father was still nervous, and wanted to ask if Gu Xiucai was bypassed, what did Gu Xiucai lack or was he thirsty and hungry, but he continued to listen, saying that his family believed in things, so he slowly relaxed down.
"...Second brother is very good at writing poems. Every time he takes the exam, he gets No. 1. I can't do it. The writing has no inspiration. The master said I was clumsy and squeezed out, so the second brother helped me..."
It turns out that it is good to write poetry with faith.Father Yan thought to himself, and was also proud.He didn't know how to write poems, but Gu Xiucai said it was good, and he was better than Gu Xiucai.
"Lunch is free on weekdays. There is no money for the food. There is not much meat and oil in the food. If you go late, there will not be much food. Only the soup is left, and the taste is okay. The three of us eat the food in the restaurant. It’s okay to add meat to the money, but it’s not worth it, and the second brother never spends money to buy it.” Gu Zhao thought a little carefully, “My brother and I are fine, we go home to eat after school in the afternoon, and the food at home is so delicious that it can be seen as meat. "
Father Yan's heart is tight, he knows that Jinxin is not a big spender, he spends money and saves money, but reading hurts his mind, what should he do if he doesn't eat oil and water?Come back to work on the holidays...
"Ten days off for a bath, it's a holiday to take a shower and wash clothes. The second brother lives in the dormitory. This morning, he washes up, then washes the clothes, repairs the dormitory, and also has to hurry up to read and study."
I believe that he never did laundry at home before, and he had his grandma and mother. The last time he came back, he said that he was thinking about doing laundry. It turned out that he learned it outside.Father Yan thought to himself.
I'm studying and working, I can't eat well, and no one takes care of me. Is my body going to be overwhelmed after a long time?
"But uncle, don't worry, it's just some of my own clothes and two robes, nothing big." Gu Zhao gave Yan father 'relief'.
Father Yan didn't interrupt the whole time, because he was a little restrained in talking with Gu Xiucai, so he said now: "Then I believe that the bedding is not allowed to dry and wash after sleeping? This is too big."
"Of course there is no other way, the second brother works very quickly."
"That's true..." Father Yan murmured, but he still didn't think it would work, so worry about it.
The willow tree at the other end was so excited that it was about to do somersaults for Li Fulang on the kang.
"Give me back a tael of silver for a month?!"
"Still caring about my food, drink and lodging?"
"Li Fulang, why are you so kind?"
Li Zhouzhou then said: "I'm not kind-hearted. You came here to help me. It's not easy to do stewed cooking business. I shouldn't have invited you, because your husband and I are both scholars. If you come to work, I'm afraid you will The family members misunderstood and treated you slowly, and it never meant that."
"How can you treat me slowly? You give me one or two taels of silver a month. What kind of slow treatment is this? If you still care about food and housing, you can go and ask. The village with a radius of ten miles, let alone a tael or half a tael, has people passing by. "Liu Shu doesn't care about these things, "It is said that the lady of the scholar is in the limelight, but she can't play the limelight, and the family life is as usual."
Still can't see much oil and water in a year, all save money, and dare not buy new cloth to tear clothes.
"You don't know, there is also a scholar lady in our town. After more than ten years, she is still a scholar lady. She knows how to read books when she doesn't do anything all day long. All of them are embroidering handkerchiefs, starching and washing clothes for people. They work hard from morning to night. , I could be blind in both eyes.”
Willow was briefly bluffed by the name of the talented husband, but the reality teaches how to be a man, what should I do when I go back to my mother’s house, I said that the talented husband is capable, so why only take ten eggs for my mother’s family, all the talented husband is not good stand up.
How beautiful?What scenery do you take?
It's not like getting money.
"If your family really wants to see my man make fun of me, then why do you have to work hard to deliver stone powder and make a hard trip. Although I haven't studied, I know it."
Willow said that he really did not regard Li Fulang as an outsider, and said: "The family only has six acres of dry fields and six acres of paddy fields. Now that the fertilizers are harvested well, we are too hungry to eat and drink all year round. We dare not add any oil and water. We can save money in a year Thank goodness for 20 taels."
"The land is dead and cannot be moved. If I go out to work, I can earn 12 taels a year. Let's take 30 taels. I can't save [-] taels."
After Liu Shu finished speaking, he had never seen so much money before. His heart was pounding, and he said, "Why is there so much money? Then it will be Chinese New Year, and I can't eat meat in big bowls. I eat all meat dumplings. What else can I pack?" " And curiously asked: "Li Fulang, what do you eat for Chinese New Year?"
Li Zhouzhou laughed, and thought the willow tree was cute, so he talked about eating.
"How old are you? I am 28 years old from Kang Jing." Li Zhouzhou said, "Don't call me Li Fulang so polite."
"Then you are three years older than me." Liu Shu is also a snake-beating stick, and he happily called out: "Brother Zhou Zhou, you can just call me Xiaoshu. You haven't said what your family eats for the New Year. I have to think about it. Think about it now."
Li Zhouzhou said with a smile: "I marinate myself in the water. Sometimes I eat fish when I catch fish in the river, kill a chicken, and have dumplings."
Willow saliva can flow down, he is too greedy.
"Hey, if my mother-in-law, grandmother, father-in-law and father don't agree to my going, I'll just want to roll around and be lazy."
Li Zhouzhou didn't know how to answer the conversation, just, just rolling around on the willow tree, pretending to be true or not?When she was in the village, the second aunt sometimes favored Guangzong, and Xingge was also angry when he was missing Xinggeer, but she acted coquettishly and sticky, and abducted her in different ways. Later, she married into the Wang family, but she didn't dare to behave like her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
"Don't be afraid, I don't really know how to roll on the ground, and it's not when I was a child." Willow patted his chest, he didn't do this a long time ago, "If the clothes are dirty, you have to wash them yourself, it's not worth it, and it's just a lot of nagging several times."
There was no need for Liu Shu to talk about it, after breakfast the next day, Yan's family agreed to let Xiao Shu go over to help.
Liu Shu was still a little surprised and worried about the family, but Grandma Yan said: "When you were not married, our family lived like this. Those in the village just ignore what is right and wrong."
At that time, I was strict in studying and abiding by the rules, so I wouldn't care about the women in the village.The female family members of the Yan family heard the villagers joke behind their backs that his family was wasting money for the scholars, so they just ignored them, and they didn't say that they had fought.
"That's right, Xiaoshu, you can go there with peace of mind. When the time comes, you will have to work hard and take care of Jinxin. Aunt knows that you have worked hard." Yan's mother also felt that she had treated Xiaoshu badly, "Don't worry about the house, Tell Jinxin not to worry, I, your grandma, and your father can do the work in the field slowly."
"That won't work. Don't be tired when grandma is old. When the farming season is busy, Jinxin and I will come back together. Brother Zhou Zhou has already agreed with me that he can give me a vacation."
Gu Zhao whispered in front of his wife: Brother Zhou Zhou.
Li Zhouzhou laughed and slapped the gentleman's hand under the table, but he was caught by him and started playing.Li Zhouzhou's ears were red, everyone was there, but he still didn't move his hands, let him go.
Now that you have made up your mind, let's clean up without delay, the Li family still has to do business.Liu Shu packed the baggage and some clothes by himself, while Grandma Yan and Mother Yan steamed a pot of buns and steamed buns. They were in a hurry and brought Xiao Shu and a jar of sauce.
"Take this, it's tiring for you." Grandma Yan said to Li Da Gu Xiucai.
Li Da took the jar and put it away, saying: "Auntie is not tired, don't worry."
Yan's mother told Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, when you go to the prefecture and see Jinxin, tell him not to be reluctant to spend money on eating meat. This study hurts your body. Look at the town's embroidered lady, who is so talented that she is so emaciated." Just don’t eat meat, if you are free, give him supplements from time to time, don’t worry about spending money.”
"Mom, I know, you can worry about what I do. If he doesn't eat, I'll feed him."
Yan's mother suddenly felt at ease. In the morning, she heard from the man that she believed that even in the prefectures and counties, she would not be willing to eat meat. How could this happen? At least you have to eat an egg to make up for it. .”
"You know, don't worry, mother, you and grandma should also eat better, don't worry too much, I will go to prefectures and counties to work and still have some money, I believe that I will be enough for my study expenses, and the money at home will be easier." Willow said these , but looking at the expressions of her mother-in-law and grandma, she knew that she didn't listen.
The mother-in-law and grandma are soft-tempered people. They have been married for so long, even if he fights with others and tears his hair, the mother-in-law and grandma have never said a harsh word to him. If his mother had pulled his ear, he would have made an apology.
Yan's family is good everywhere, even if they are poor, they are deducted, which is too economical.
Next to him, Li Da remembered something, and added: "Xiaoshu is so serious, take care of your body, and you will have a good time and grandchildren in the future."
Grandma Yan grinned from ear to ear, yes, Xiaoshu has passed by, and will live with Jinxin in the future, but there will be movement in her stomach.
"Yes yes yes, I must live a long time to see our little tree and Jinxin doll."
Reluctantly finished speaking the words of safety, the Yan family watched the mule cart disappear, and then went back to the house. When the villagers asked, they said that they believed that they would not take care of themselves when they were studying outside. Xiaoshu went over and let Xiaoshu take care of Jinxin.
This is Gu Zhao's reminder, don't say that Liu Fulang went to work in the prefecture or county.
The Yan family didn't understand why they couldn't say it. Before Gu Zhao said anything, Liu Shu knew it when he thought about it: "I am a husband who goes to work in the county. good."
Grandma Yan felt right when she heard it, so she definitely couldn't say that.
Gu Zhao actually had two meanings in mind, one was to protect the face of Second Brother Yan, although he knew that Second Brother Yan didn't care, it would be better if he didn't ridicule and point fingers.Two, before the second brother Yan won the exam, the Yan family still made a fortune in a low-key manner in the village-12 taels of silver a year, which is already a huge sum of money for a brother's salary in the village.
These people are jealous, and they can't get the job, so they have to slander behind their backs and laugh at the Yan family even more, hoping that the Yan family can continue to live in poverty.
It took a day and a half to drive the car, and on the way, we stopped at an inn in the town for a night. In order to save money, Gu Zhao and his father lived in the same room, and Li Zhouzhou and Liu Shu lived in the same room. Gu Zhao was sour beside him, and Li Zhouzhou promised a lot 'Condition', Gu Zhaocai became happy.
My wife is doing well~
Going back in the afternoon to see that the Sun Yat-Men hadn't stopped yet, Gu Zhaoxian took Su Gouwa's household registration booklet and consent letter to register as an affiliation. Fortunately, he had a reputation, so he spent [-] yuan to do an "urgent" and everything was done Done.
I can go back to class tomorrow.
After Gu Zhao finished his work, he went back and gave Su Gouwa's household registration book and Li Ji's Luzhu contract to Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou kept these at home.On the other side, Li Zhouzhou took Liu Shu to the small courtyard next door to settle down first while Xianggong was running to the yamen.
When Liu Shu entered the yard, he felt small at first, and was used to living in a village house, but when he entered the house, why were the walls white and why did the bed have carved pillars?He brought the bedroll himself, and quickly said that he would clean it up, so Brother Zhou didn't need to be busy.
"Next door is my yard. There is a well. In the future, you can come here to drink and use water." Li Zhouzhou said.
Willow smiled happily, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Li Zhouzhou also took Liu Shu to the street for a walk, and bought daily necessities such as toothbrush and tooth powder, honey locust soap, washbasin and handkerchief. That's what Xianggong called.
As for Mr. Liu Shu, Li Zhouzhou didn't care about it.The husband said what to do.
"Brother Zhou Zhou, you are good to me." Liu Shu really wanted to get close to Brother Zhou Zhou, but he restrained himself. Gu Xiucai didn't seem to like him being too close to Brother Zhou Zhou. After giving birth to a bunch of dolls again, my brother is worthless, and no one cares about him.
Brother Zhou Zhou is really nice.
Willow was full of energy, and went back with the wooden basin, wishing to start work immediately to make money for Brother Zhou Zhou, earn a lot.
On their way back, someone in the alley asked who this was, and Li Zhouzhou introduced Liu Shu, saying that he was Yan Xiucai's husband, and Xiao Shu kindly came to help him when he heard that he was too busy.
People in the alley knew that this was another talented husband, so they greeted him politely.Willow is not afraid of life, and just opened his mouth to call, what uncle and aunt, and when they returned to the yard, everyone would remember everything, and they would know who sold steamed stuffed buns and who sold vinegar.
"You have a good memory." Li Zhouzhou was surprised.
Willow was proud, "When I first arrived in Yan's Village, the whole village came to see me and laughed at me. If I couldn't remember who, they would laugh at me, so why would I scold me back!"
"..." Li Zhouzhou.
While talking, the two cleared up the dishes and cleaned up the table.Because the willow tree has just arrived, Li Zhouzhou intends to make it richer, to clean up the willow tree, eat well, and start to get busy tomorrow, so I bought a chicken and slaughtered it, half stewed, half fried, A pound of pork belly is roasted with sugar and sauce into braised pork...
The willow tree can drool when burning firewood. He has grown so big that he has never eaten so well during the New Year.
"My family doesn't eat like this every day." Li Zhouzhou explained with a smile, "It's usually easy to live, but you just arrived, and my father and husband have been working so hard these days, let's satisfy our hunger together, and we have to work tomorrow , it will be hard work for you."
Willow: "With such a meal, I can plow three acres of land without rest."
"..." Li Zhouzhou just laughed, Xiaoshu's words were so funny.
After Gu Zhao finished his errands, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't bother to go to school. Liu Fulang picked him up. This first night, he had to calm down the couple.As soon as he entered the school, he ran to the classroom first, and sure enough, he saw his second brother reading silently.
"Second brother!"
Yan Jinxin raised his head to look at Gu Zhao, but couldn't read the book anymore, and said, "Has Xiao Shu come?"
"...I thought that the second brother Taishan collapsed in front of him and didn't change his face, so he was in a hurry when he saw it." Gu Zhaoxian joked.
Yan Jinxin knew that Xiaoshu was coming, and he still looked serious when he was teased.Gu Zhao said, "Here I am. I have just completed my household registration. Liu Fulang should clean up with my family Zhou Zhou. Will the second brother go back to live with me today, or live in a dormitory?"
This is nonsense deliberately teasing rigorous letter.
Yan Jinxin said with a flat and serious face, "I'm bothering you."
"Our two brothers are still so polite." Gu Zhao: "Hurry up and clean up."
Needless to say, Gu Zhao, Yan Jingxin had already packed his schoolbag, "Let's go."
Gu Zhao: ...
This meal was a bit late, the main room of Li's house was lit with oil lamps, but there were many people and the atmosphere was lively, and the food was rich, strict and solemn, just about to say thank you and say something similar to Xiaoshu, and then I will trouble Li's family with what to say, Willow swallows first Drooling, "Brother Zhou Zhou, we are all here, Uncle Li, let's eat."
"Let's not talk about coming and eating, the days will be long in the future." Li Da said: "Yan Xiucai is welcome, use your chopsticks."
Strict letter: "Uncle Li, just tell me to be careful in the future."
"Come on, let's eat, we're all welcome."
The willow chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, you're welcome, you're welcome, seeing that Uncle Li moved his chopsticks to eat, he picked up a piece of meat with the chopsticks, before putting it in his mouth, he turned his head to look at the man, the meat on the chopsticks was shaking Shaking again, in the end I was very reluctant to put it in the man's bowl first.
Why do I have to take care of him for a meal?well.
Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou were next to you, and you would pick me a piece of braised pork, and I would scoop you a spoonful of diced chicken. The two of them usually ate like this, and they didn't think it was wrong.Gu Zhao saw that Second Brother Yan was staring at Liu Fulang in the bowl without moving his chopsticks, so he smiled again and said, "Liu Fulang thought of Second Brother at the first bite, will Second Brother send it back?"
With a serious face, Yan Jinxin put vegetables for Xiaoshu.
Willow stared at the vegetables in the bowl, he picked up meat for the man, and the man picked up the vegetables for him, forget it, let him do it himself.
After a meal, Li Zhouzhou and Liu Shu cleaned up the pots and bowls.
Firewood and pots and stoves are all prepared in the yard next door, and if hot water is needed, the Yan family will cook it themselves.Liu Shu said goodbye to Brother Zhou Zhou, and then went back to the next door with his man, chatting non-stop along the way, talking about what he had seen and heard when he came here, saying that a night in the inn in the town was expensive, what he ate, and that grandma and grandma brought What, let's not worry about it at home.
Strict and trustworthy, he likes to be quiet, and he didn't like to listen to such nonsense before, but now he listens to it, with a serious face, his expression has eased a lot, and he still needs to respond from time to time.
Because Xiaoshu said that I've been talking for so long, and my mouth is almost dry, so you don't know what to say, whether you listened to it or not!
The gate is closed.
In the dead of night, after washing.
The curtain of the bed in Li's house was drawn, and Li Zhouzhou was covered in moisture. He had just finished washing, and he pulled his husband's hand into his arms under the quilt. Gu Zhao touched it, and his skin was warm and firm. "Brother Zhou Zhou, do you want me to kiss you? Why are the underwear belts untied?"
"Master." Li Zhouzhou said embarrassedly.
Gu Zhao put his hands on his skin, touched it, and said with a hint of tea, "What is it, Mr. Zhou, why doesn't Brother Zhou call him Xiaozhao? Is Xiaozhao not as nice as Xiaoshu?"
"Xiaoshu and I are brothers, why does Xianggong even eat this jealousy?"
"Not only is he not called Xiao Zhao anymore, he can't even eat vinegar..." Gu Zhao Chacha looked pitifully.
Li Zhouzhou blushed, Xianggong said that he was pitiful, but he was 'bullying' pinching him with his hands, his chest was itchy, and he endured his embarrassment, and said: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you like."
"Will Brother Zhou do it too?"
"Ah."
Just did it once, Gu Zhao was originally making a fuss about Zhou Zhou, and he must have been tired after running back and forth these days, but then it became too much, his family Zhou Zhou is cute, and he looks like you can pick and choose, so it will be a matter of course once.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhao woke up and realized that Brother Yan was next door.In the courtyard next door, Liu Shu woke up early, cooked a pot of multigrain porridge, pasted pancakes, and brought pickles, and he brought a pot of porridge for Zhou Zhou.
Li Zhouzhou thanked him for his kindness, so he didn't have to make breakfast.
After Gu Zhao and Yan Jinxin went to school early, Liu Shu went to the next door to look for Brother Zhou, what should he do?
Li Da went into the water with a cart, and pulled back two pig heads, eight pig trotters, and ten catties of spare ribs.
Get busy.
Things are multiplied and more, there are two shops in the small yard, a big pot stove, and a small stove in the yard, plus the big stove in my own shop can be stewed.When the quantity was set the night before, Li Zhouzhou finished speaking and went to see his husband, "...Is there too much? I think it can be done, even if the buying time is later, I am not afraid."
"It's not too much, it's because Zhou Zhou of my family has courage." Gu Zhao was happy.Since Zhou Zhou opened the shop, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell out every bucket he put in. Now that he has expanded the shop, increased the manpower, and fixed the quantity, he has a certain amount of money in his heart, and he is courageous and confident.
Li Zhouzhou was encouraged and said: "Actually, I thought about it, if there are too many and it is difficult to sell, I can tell the shopkeeper Xu of Jinyu Restaurant, let's sell it at a low price, and we will never lose money. "
"Now renting the yard next door is eight taels a year, and there is still the salary for the small tree, plus the capital and expenses are high, of course it will take more work, otherwise it will be like my husband said, it will be a waste of effort."
Gu Zhao gave his family Zhou Zhou a thumbs up, Zhou Zhou is awesome!
The result is that it can be sold. It used to be over in a moment, but now it is prolonged, and the selling time is only three minutes. Especially Li Ji has been closed for almost a week. The big guys are already greedy and holding back. When the store opens, don’t buy more a few spoonfuls.
As a result, we queued up to see, why did you change the door to the next door?
"I didn't change the next door, it was my house
Willow was busy handing things to Li Fulang. He changed all the kangs. They made two beddings when they got married. Only the men would make them when they came back. They were cleaned and put away on weekdays.
"Thank you." Li Zhouzhou thanked him. After washing his face and body, he changed into Liu Fulang's clothes. Liu Fulang was slightly shorter than him, and the clothes could be worn.
"You're welcome." Willow was going to pour water, Li Zhouzhou said to come by himself, Willow picked up the water basin and ran, saying as he ran, "No, no, you can go back to the kang for a rest."
Li Zhouzhou could not help but smile on his face.
Li Da and Yan's father sat on the kang chatting, talking about crops, Gu Zhao came out to play with his wife, saw his wife was smiling, and couldn't help but leaned over and said sourly: "What are you talking about? You are so happy to laugh."
"Liu Fulang has a hearty personality, is also warm, and is quite cute."
Gu Zhao stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Zhou's finger, while moaning, "I'm not Zhou Zhou's cutest little husband anymore, I'm sad."
In Yan's house, Gu Zhao was quite restrained, otherwise he would just rub his head against his wife's chest muscles.
Li Zhouzhou knew that Xianggong was teasing him, but he never hurt him. He let him play with his fingers and said, "No, Xianggong is the cutest."
"Zhou Zhou is also the cutest." Gu Zhaoxiao was satisfied.
It was late, it was dark, and it was not easy to burn oil lamps at Yan's house, so Gu Zhao had a conversation with his wife, and then they went back to their houses to rest.After the willow tree finished pouring water and put the pots in, when he came back, he heard Gu Xiucai talking cuddly with Li Fulang, so he said that he had only seen his brother be so clingy with his own man, but never the other way around.
I couldn't help being shocked, and then admired Li Fulang even more.
Why is he so capable, if his man can talk to him like this on weekdays, and serve him comfortably like a master, don't just chant sutras in his ear all day long.
Thinking about it, Willow felt that the day was comfortable.
"I saw Gu Xiucai talking to you just now." Liu Shu tied the door, "I came over after pouring the water, and I only saw it when I got closer. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on the corner of the two of you."
Li Zhouzhou: ...
"I'll blow up the oil lamp later, don't waste it, you go to the kang and find a good place, don't fall." The willow tree is still under the kang, and there is only such an oil lamp in his house. His mother-in-law and grandma have rested early, so let him use it. Light up, take care of Li Fulang.
Li Zhouzhou got on the kang and said, "Actually, I can see better at night with the light, so I won't fall."
"Really?" Willow had already blown out the oil lamp, and climbed up the kang, one person away from Li Fulang, he was afraid that Li Fulang would not be used to sleeping with strangers, so he almost stopped, the boards were lying flat and covered, "If you think of the night, call me, let's go together, but I'm a sleeper, don't be shy, just give me two punches."
Li Zhouzhou laughed, "How can I hit you, I don't usually get up at night."
"Hey, me too. If I don't drink a lot of water at night, I can sleep until the cock crows in the morning. If the farming is busy, it won't work. Last year I harvested rice for a day and a night." Liu Shu said with a proud tone, he is amazing.
Li Zhouzhou: "It's tiring. I used to work in the field for half a night. At that time, the old man in the village said that there must be heavy rain the next day. The clouds looked dense and there were two acres of land left, so I had to work hard. .”
"Are you working in the crops too?" The willow tree lifted up from the straight-lying position of the board, and turned its face towards the inside, "I heard the man say that you are recruiting a son-in-law, and I thought your family's conditions were better, so it must be because of a solid family background. Brother, why are you still working in the fields?"
The family has a rich background and a thick brother doesn’t like to do farm work. They are all like girls. They raise pigs, feed chickens, cook, wash and wash clothes. Willow is enviable.
He was exhausted, he had to work in the fields and cook, and he had to be run over by his sister-in-law to eat too much.Of course, the willow tree went back.Naturally, A Niang grabbed her ears and scolded her, how could she talk to my sister-in-law like that.
What's the matter, she said, I can eat pigs without me, why can't I say that she is a dog and a mouse meddling in her own business!
A Niang just said him, and you scolded yourself.
Willow doesn't care, that sister-in-law is also a dog!
"It's a long story to talk about the situation in my family." Li Zhouzhou just raised his head to explain, relying on the light coming in through the window paper, he saw Liu Fulang's eyes wide open, looking like he was waiting for him to say something, then... let's talk.Anyway, I can't sleep, so it's good to chat.
Li Zhouzhou has a good impression of Liu Fulang, both of them don't look like brothers, and they both do farm work, Liu Fulang's straightforward words are very interesting.
"My father left early. When I was four or five years old, my father took me to separate the family..."
Liu Shu feels that his life is hard, but after listening to Li Fulang, what is he suffering? The elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are also partial, but at least they disappeared early—ah, bah, I can’t think so.
Li Fulang said it simply, and ended the talk about the hard life with his father in one or two sentences, but Liu Shu is a brother, and he also does farm work. He lived a hard life, so how could he not know the difficulties in it.Later, I heard Li Fulang say that after saving money, it is difficult to get married when he is old, so his father recruited him a son-in-law——
"Me too, there are gossips in the village saying that I am ugly because I don't look like a brother, but I was so angry that my teeth itch and I was scolded back, but I have brothers and sisters in my family, and it's not my turn to carry on the Liu family. I have no money If you want a son-in-law, you can only get married."
Willow said he was in good spirits, and sat up, "Later, when I was almost eighteen, the matchmaker in the village came to my door and told me that the man in my family was really poor, and that the current house was built because I couldn't live in it when I got married. .”
"My man was twenty at the time, and the matchmaker told my mother that he was not very old, and that it would be best to match the top of a small tree. He also said that he was good at studying. He looked like a scholar, and he would be able to boast about his talents in the future. When we got married, my man came to my house to welcome the bride , I took a look, and thought to myself at the time: I haven’t read a book, but I’ve seen what a scholar looks like, he doesn’t look like a black-faced god, that guy’s arms are hard and fleshy, and they are stronger than my elder brother who has dry crops.”
"I thought it must be the matchmaker bragging about my family, but who told me that my family has too many children, and the whole family has no money to build a house. If I leave, I can make room and save a mouthful of food."
Liu Shu was really worried at the time, the man was very scary at first glance.
But Liu Shu didn't know that the matchmaker boasted that Yan Jingxin was "scholar-like" and "learned and capable" at his house.When the matchmaker arrived at Yan's house, she praised the willow tree, saying that the willow tree was just the right age, and although it didn't look outstanding, it worked hard——
Some people in the village are relatives of the people in the village of Liu's family, and they said that the child Liu Shu has been very aggressive since he was a child.Yan's mother was afraid that she would find a powerful daughter-in-law, so she whispered: Is this person powerful...
Before the words could be fulfilled, the matchmaker stopped him with a thunderbolt: Xiao Shu spoke more briskly, but when he was blunt, things would happen. From now on, he will be caught inside and outside the house, so that Scholar Yan can concentrate on his studies. This is a trivial matter. Trees can do it.
The Yan family immediately felt good when they heard it, and they believed that they were already 21, and they were almost [-], so they dared not delay.As soon as the Yan family was shaken, the matchmaker saw it, and immediately made arrangements quickly. It took less than a month for the Yan family to build the house.
The Liu family wanted to get rid of this powerful firefighter brother, and blow it up at any point. Except for the parents, no one would show face if they provoked him.The Yan family was worried that their son was going to be old and difficult, and they were really poor, so it would be nice to marry a brother.
At that time, the Yan family did not think that their son would be a scholar. At that time, they heard that it was difficult to be a scholar.As a result, within two years after Xiaoshu entered the school, Jinxin was selected as a scholar.
"The man in my family won the prize of a scholar, saying that I am a scholar's husband. When I returned to my mother's house, I straightened my back, but I haven't been in the limelight for a few times, and the work in the field is still the same." Willow lay back again, " Now the villagers are still choking me with words, they are only allowed to whisper bad things about me behind my back, if I say it back, they will say that I look like a shrew, and I will definitely divorce me when I am a high-ranking official."
Li Zhouzhou knew these village idioms, and said earnestly, "Probably not, my family's husband said that Second Brother Yan is very reliable and valuable."
The Yan family has no money and is a poor peasant family, but a person's character is not linked to how much money he has.
Li Zhou and Zhou Xin spoke to each other.
"Now I believe him, but who knows later, I used to go to the town to watch the excitement. Yuanwailang's mother celebrated her birthday, and even invited a storyteller to be lively at the door. Being a high-ranking official and one wife are not enough, and you need a few concubines and maidservants." Anyway, it’s quite romantic.” After Liu Shu finished speaking, he felt wrong, “I’m not saying that Gu Xiucai is also like this, but, it’s just that I don’t know what to do.”
Li Zhouzhou is a trustworthy husband, and he can understand Liu Fulang's uneasiness, saying: "I just got married to my husband, but in fact, some people in the village murmured that they didn't like it, saying that my husband was trying to test my house, yard and money. Once you get rich and pass the exam, you will be appointed to get rid of my family."
"Ah?" Liu Shu was surprised, but he could figure it out after thinking about it, "These bitches, uncles, what business do they have?"
"At that time, I was panicked and scared, but later on I was not afraid, and my heart was at ease."
"Why?" Willow also wanted to learn.
Li Zhouzhou said: "I get along with my husband every day. Naturally, I know better than the outsiders in the village what he is like. Of course I believe in him. You and your family have less gatherings and more separation. You listen to those people behind the scenes all day long. It’s not good to murmur, but it won’t be affected.”
"It seems that they poked me with this because they said they couldn't do it. They just wanted to see me laugh. I knew it in my heart, but I still got angry. Then my man came back. In order to get angry, he tossed me hard three times a night. If I do this again and again, my waist will almost break, but in order to prove that a man doesn't dislike me, I have to bear it, but I'm exhausted." Willow muttered.
Li Zhouzhou: ...
He thought of himself.
"Did I talk too much, I couldn't hold it back, I wouldn't talk about it with others." Willow shyly laughed, "I just think you are close, capable and powerful, and I can't hold it back."
Li Zhouzhou was also a little embarrassed, Liu Fulang said everything, he also listened, but fortunately the room was dark, so he said: "Actually, I was the same as you at the beginning, but my husband-in-law was young, and he was just married at that time. If you talk too much, you won't be tall—”
"Ah?!" Willow was frightened, and then thought again, "Don't grow anymore, my men are as tall and strong as the black-faced god, I can't bear to grow taller, and I'll be fine now."
Fortunately, Liu Fulang interrupted, and Li Zhouzhou almost said that the matter between Xianggong and him is much better now, and it is a bit more difficult than before.He never said this before, it must have been chatting in the bed at night when it was dark, and he forgot.Li Zhouzhou felt embarrassed, and changed the subject to say goodbye, "Actually, I'm not good at it. My husband-in-law figured out the stewed recipe."
"It's just that you are amazing. Your husband-in-law thought about the recipe, but you can't do it yourself when you open a shop and do business." Liu Shu felt envious of Li Fulang's hard work and supporting the family. "If I were like You'll be just fine."
I am nervous about eating meat at home.
Li Zhouzhou: "Don't you want to go to the prefecture?"
"I want to go." Willow sat talking to Li Fulang, "But if I leave, I'm afraid that my family will be bullied. Besides, the prefecture and county are expensive. When my man comes back, he never says that paper is expensive and pens are expensive. Okay, okay, but I'm not a fool, as far as we eat and drink in the town, that's the same amount, let alone Dafu County, I have no place to live in the past, and I have to eat—"
"Food and lodging included." Li Zhouzhou remembered that he hadn't told Liu Fulang about this yet. His family arrived in the afternoon and evening, and after reading Xinyan, the family began to make arrangements for dinner, bedding and accommodation, and feeding the mules. Black is washing and boiling water, it seems that I have no time to talk about this.
Li Zhouzhou thought it was wrong, followed Liu Fulang to explain clearly: "I rented a courtyard next to my house, my house has four main rooms, one is used as a shop for business, and the remaining three rooms are used by myself. I couldn't stretch it out, so I rented the three yards next door for two years, planning to use two for business and one for sleeping."
"If you come over, you can sleep in that room. My house is two or three minutes away from Qingping Academy. It's not safe for you to live alone. Your husband can also come together..."
On the other side, in father Yan's kang room.
Yan's father hadn't fallen asleep yet. In the past, he fell asleep on the kang as soon as it got dark, but today there is Gu Xiucai here. Gu Xiucai is different from his son in that he looks like a real scholar. He sleeps and snores. Afraid of disturbing Gu Xiucai.
The three of them are tall and they sleep sideways, so there is a lot of space, and it is just right for Yan's father to fall asleep. Li Da and Gu Zhao's feet are hanging in the air, but they shrink their legs and shrink them, so they can make do with one night.
Gu Zhaoneng noticed that his father and Yan father were not asleep, and he couldn't sleep, so he couldn't help but talk about the things in the academy, mainly about the daily life of the second brother Yan, so that Yan father should not be tense and relax.
The child was studying outside and did not come back for a long time. When he came back, Yan Jingxin believed that his temperament was not talking about daily life with his parents at home. Parents are not talkative and honest, but they are serious about worrying about their children.
No, Gu Zhao made a head start, Yan’s father was still nervous, and wanted to ask if Gu Xiucai was bypassed, what did Gu Xiucai lack or was he thirsty and hungry, but he continued to listen, saying that his family believed in things, so he slowly relaxed down.
"...Second brother is very good at writing poems. Every time he takes the exam, he gets No. 1. I can't do it. The writing has no inspiration. The master said I was clumsy and squeezed out, so the second brother helped me..."
It turns out that it is good to write poetry with faith.Father Yan thought to himself, and was also proud.He didn't know how to write poems, but Gu Xiucai said it was good, and he was better than Gu Xiucai.
"Lunch is free on weekdays. There is no money for the food. There is not much meat and oil in the food. If you go late, there will not be much food. Only the soup is left, and the taste is okay. The three of us eat the food in the restaurant. It’s okay to add meat to the money, but it’s not worth it, and the second brother never spends money to buy it.” Gu Zhao thought a little carefully, “My brother and I are fine, we go home to eat after school in the afternoon, and the food at home is so delicious that it can be seen as meat. "
Father Yan's heart is tight, he knows that Jinxin is not a big spender, he spends money and saves money, but reading hurts his mind, what should he do if he doesn't eat oil and water?Come back to work on the holidays...
"Ten days off for a bath, it's a holiday to take a shower and wash clothes. The second brother lives in the dormitory. This morning, he washes up, then washes the clothes, repairs the dormitory, and also has to hurry up to read and study."
I believe that he never did laundry at home before, and he had his grandma and mother. The last time he came back, he said that he was thinking about doing laundry. It turned out that he learned it outside.Father Yan thought to himself.
I'm studying and working, I can't eat well, and no one takes care of me. Is my body going to be overwhelmed after a long time?
"But uncle, don't worry, it's just some of my own clothes and two robes, nothing big." Gu Zhao gave Yan father 'relief'.
Father Yan didn't interrupt the whole time, because he was a little restrained in talking with Gu Xiucai, so he said now: "Then I believe that the bedding is not allowed to dry and wash after sleeping? This is too big."
"Of course there is no other way, the second brother works very quickly."
"That's true..." Father Yan murmured, but he still didn't think it would work, so worry about it.
The willow tree at the other end was so excited that it was about to do somersaults for Li Fulang on the kang.
"Give me back a tael of silver for a month?!"
"Still caring about my food, drink and lodging?"
"Li Fulang, why are you so kind?"
Li Zhouzhou then said: "I'm not kind-hearted. You came here to help me. It's not easy to do stewed cooking business. I shouldn't have invited you, because your husband and I are both scholars. If you come to work, I'm afraid you will The family members misunderstood and treated you slowly, and it never meant that."
"How can you treat me slowly? You give me one or two taels of silver a month. What kind of slow treatment is this? If you still care about food and housing, you can go and ask. The village with a radius of ten miles, let alone a tael or half a tael, has people passing by. "Liu Shu doesn't care about these things, "It is said that the lady of the scholar is in the limelight, but she can't play the limelight, and the family life is as usual."
Still can't see much oil and water in a year, all save money, and dare not buy new cloth to tear clothes.
"You don't know, there is also a scholar lady in our town. After more than ten years, she is still a scholar lady. She knows how to read books when she doesn't do anything all day long. All of them are embroidering handkerchiefs, starching and washing clothes for people. They work hard from morning to night. , I could be blind in both eyes.”
Willow was briefly bluffed by the name of the talented husband, but the reality teaches how to be a man, what should I do when I go back to my mother’s house, I said that the talented husband is capable, so why only take ten eggs for my mother’s family, all the talented husband is not good stand up.
How beautiful?What scenery do you take?
It's not like getting money.
"If your family really wants to see my man make fun of me, then why do you have to work hard to deliver stone powder and make a hard trip. Although I haven't studied, I know it."
Willow said that he really did not regard Li Fulang as an outsider, and said: "The family only has six acres of dry fields and six acres of paddy fields. Now that the fertilizers are harvested well, we are too hungry to eat and drink all year round. We dare not add any oil and water. We can save money in a year Thank goodness for 20 taels."
"The land is dead and cannot be moved. If I go out to work, I can earn 12 taels a year. Let's take 30 taels. I can't save [-] taels."
After Liu Shu finished speaking, he had never seen so much money before. His heart was pounding, and he said, "Why is there so much money? Then it will be Chinese New Year, and I can't eat meat in big bowls. I eat all meat dumplings. What else can I pack?" " And curiously asked: "Li Fulang, what do you eat for Chinese New Year?"
Li Zhouzhou laughed, and thought the willow tree was cute, so he talked about eating.
"How old are you? I am 28 years old from Kang Jing." Li Zhouzhou said, "Don't call me Li Fulang so polite."
"Then you are three years older than me." Liu Shu is also a snake-beating stick, and he happily called out: "Brother Zhou Zhou, you can just call me Xiaoshu. You haven't said what your family eats for the New Year. I have to think about it. Think about it now."
Li Zhouzhou said with a smile: "I marinate myself in the water. Sometimes I eat fish when I catch fish in the river, kill a chicken, and have dumplings."
Willow saliva can flow down, he is too greedy.
"Hey, if my mother-in-law, grandmother, father-in-law and father don't agree to my going, I'll just want to roll around and be lazy."
Li Zhouzhou didn't know how to answer the conversation, just, just rolling around on the willow tree, pretending to be true or not?When she was in the village, the second aunt sometimes favored Guangzong, and Xingge was also angry when he was missing Xinggeer, but she acted coquettishly and sticky, and abducted her in different ways. Later, she married into the Wang family, but she didn't dare to behave like her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
"Don't be afraid, I don't really know how to roll on the ground, and it's not when I was a child." Willow patted his chest, he didn't do this a long time ago, "If the clothes are dirty, you have to wash them yourself, it's not worth it, and it's just a lot of nagging several times."
There was no need for Liu Shu to talk about it, after breakfast the next day, Yan's family agreed to let Xiao Shu go over to help.
Liu Shu was still a little surprised and worried about the family, but Grandma Yan said: "When you were not married, our family lived like this. Those in the village just ignore what is right and wrong."
At that time, I was strict in studying and abiding by the rules, so I wouldn't care about the women in the village.The female family members of the Yan family heard the villagers joke behind their backs that his family was wasting money for the scholars, so they just ignored them, and they didn't say that they had fought.
"That's right, Xiaoshu, you can go there with peace of mind. When the time comes, you will have to work hard and take care of Jinxin. Aunt knows that you have worked hard." Yan's mother also felt that she had treated Xiaoshu badly, "Don't worry about the house, Tell Jinxin not to worry, I, your grandma, and your father can do the work in the field slowly."
"That won't work. Don't be tired when grandma is old. When the farming season is busy, Jinxin and I will come back together. Brother Zhou Zhou has already agreed with me that he can give me a vacation."
Gu Zhao whispered in front of his wife: Brother Zhou Zhou.
Li Zhouzhou laughed and slapped the gentleman's hand under the table, but he was caught by him and started playing.Li Zhouzhou's ears were red, everyone was there, but he still didn't move his hands, let him go.
Now that you have made up your mind, let's clean up without delay, the Li family still has to do business.Liu Shu packed the baggage and some clothes by himself, while Grandma Yan and Mother Yan steamed a pot of buns and steamed buns. They were in a hurry and brought Xiao Shu and a jar of sauce.
"Take this, it's tiring for you." Grandma Yan said to Li Da Gu Xiucai.
Li Da took the jar and put it away, saying: "Auntie is not tired, don't worry."
Yan's mother told Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, when you go to the prefecture and see Jinxin, tell him not to be reluctant to spend money on eating meat. This study hurts your body. Look at the town's embroidered lady, who is so talented that she is so emaciated." Just don’t eat meat, if you are free, give him supplements from time to time, don’t worry about spending money.”
"Mom, I know, you can worry about what I do. If he doesn't eat, I'll feed him."
Yan's mother suddenly felt at ease. In the morning, she heard from the man that she believed that even in the prefectures and counties, she would not be willing to eat meat. How could this happen? At least you have to eat an egg to make up for it. .”
"You know, don't worry, mother, you and grandma should also eat better, don't worry too much, I will go to prefectures and counties to work and still have some money, I believe that I will be enough for my study expenses, and the money at home will be easier." Willow said these , but looking at the expressions of her mother-in-law and grandma, she knew that she didn't listen.
The mother-in-law and grandma are soft-tempered people. They have been married for so long, even if he fights with others and tears his hair, the mother-in-law and grandma have never said a harsh word to him. If his mother had pulled his ear, he would have made an apology.
Yan's family is good everywhere, even if they are poor, they are deducted, which is too economical.
Next to him, Li Da remembered something, and added: "Xiaoshu is so serious, take care of your body, and you will have a good time and grandchildren in the future."
Grandma Yan grinned from ear to ear, yes, Xiaoshu has passed by, and will live with Jinxin in the future, but there will be movement in her stomach.
"Yes yes yes, I must live a long time to see our little tree and Jinxin doll."
Reluctantly finished speaking the words of safety, the Yan family watched the mule cart disappear, and then went back to the house. When the villagers asked, they said that they believed that they would not take care of themselves when they were studying outside. Xiaoshu went over and let Xiaoshu take care of Jinxin.
This is Gu Zhao's reminder, don't say that Liu Fulang went to work in the prefecture or county.
The Yan family didn't understand why they couldn't say it. Before Gu Zhao said anything, Liu Shu knew it when he thought about it: "I am a husband who goes to work in the county. good."
Grandma Yan felt right when she heard it, so she definitely couldn't say that.
Gu Zhao actually had two meanings in mind, one was to protect the face of Second Brother Yan, although he knew that Second Brother Yan didn't care, it would be better if he didn't ridicule and point fingers.Two, before the second brother Yan won the exam, the Yan family still made a fortune in a low-key manner in the village-12 taels of silver a year, which is already a huge sum of money for a brother's salary in the village.
These people are jealous, and they can't get the job, so they have to slander behind their backs and laugh at the Yan family even more, hoping that the Yan family can continue to live in poverty.
It took a day and a half to drive the car, and on the way, we stopped at an inn in the town for a night. In order to save money, Gu Zhao and his father lived in the same room, and Li Zhouzhou and Liu Shu lived in the same room. Gu Zhao was sour beside him, and Li Zhouzhou promised a lot 'Condition', Gu Zhaocai became happy.
My wife is doing well~
Going back in the afternoon to see that the Sun Yat-Men hadn't stopped yet, Gu Zhaoxian took Su Gouwa's household registration booklet and consent letter to register as an affiliation. Fortunately, he had a reputation, so he spent [-] yuan to do an "urgent" and everything was done Done.
I can go back to class tomorrow.
After Gu Zhao finished his work, he went back and gave Su Gouwa's household registration book and Li Ji's Luzhu contract to Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Zhou kept these at home.On the other side, Li Zhouzhou took Liu Shu to the small courtyard next door to settle down first while Xianggong was running to the yamen.
When Liu Shu entered the yard, he felt small at first, and was used to living in a village house, but when he entered the house, why were the walls white and why did the bed have carved pillars?He brought the bedroll himself, and quickly said that he would clean it up, so Brother Zhou didn't need to be busy.
"Next door is my yard. There is a well. In the future, you can come here to drink and use water." Li Zhouzhou said.
Willow smiled happily, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."
Li Zhouzhou also took Liu Shu to the street for a walk, and bought daily necessities such as toothbrush and tooth powder, honey locust soap, washbasin and handkerchief. That's what Xianggong called.
As for Mr. Liu Shu, Li Zhouzhou didn't care about it.The husband said what to do.
"Brother Zhou Zhou, you are good to me." Liu Shu really wanted to get close to Brother Zhou Zhou, but he restrained himself. Gu Xiucai didn't seem to like him being too close to Brother Zhou Zhou. After giving birth to a bunch of dolls again, my brother is worthless, and no one cares about him.
Brother Zhou Zhou is really nice.
Willow was full of energy, and went back with the wooden basin, wishing to start work immediately to make money for Brother Zhou Zhou, earn a lot.
On their way back, someone in the alley asked who this was, and Li Zhouzhou introduced Liu Shu, saying that he was Yan Xiucai's husband, and Xiao Shu kindly came to help him when he heard that he was too busy.
People in the alley knew that this was another talented husband, so they greeted him politely.Willow is not afraid of life, and just opened his mouth to call, what uncle and aunt, and when they returned to the yard, everyone would remember everything, and they would know who sold steamed stuffed buns and who sold vinegar.
"You have a good memory." Li Zhouzhou was surprised.
Willow was proud, "When I first arrived in Yan's Village, the whole village came to see me and laughed at me. If I couldn't remember who, they would laugh at me, so why would I scold me back!"
"..." Li Zhouzhou.
While talking, the two cleared up the dishes and cleaned up the table.Because the willow tree has just arrived, Li Zhouzhou intends to make it richer, to clean up the willow tree, eat well, and start to get busy tomorrow, so I bought a chicken and slaughtered it, half stewed, half fried, A pound of pork belly is roasted with sugar and sauce into braised pork...
The willow tree can drool when burning firewood. He has grown so big that he has never eaten so well during the New Year.
"My family doesn't eat like this every day." Li Zhouzhou explained with a smile, "It's usually easy to live, but you just arrived, and my father and husband have been working so hard these days, let's satisfy our hunger together, and we have to work tomorrow , it will be hard work for you."
Willow: "With such a meal, I can plow three acres of land without rest."
"..." Li Zhouzhou just laughed, Xiaoshu's words were so funny.
After Gu Zhao finished his errands, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't bother to go to school. Liu Fulang picked him up. This first night, he had to calm down the couple.As soon as he entered the school, he ran to the classroom first, and sure enough, he saw his second brother reading silently.
"Second brother!"
Yan Jinxin raised his head to look at Gu Zhao, but couldn't read the book anymore, and said, "Has Xiao Shu come?"
"...I thought that the second brother Taishan collapsed in front of him and didn't change his face, so he was in a hurry when he saw it." Gu Zhaoxian joked.
Yan Jinxin knew that Xiaoshu was coming, and he still looked serious when he was teased.Gu Zhao said, "Here I am. I have just completed my household registration. Liu Fulang should clean up with my family Zhou Zhou. Will the second brother go back to live with me today, or live in a dormitory?"
This is nonsense deliberately teasing rigorous letter.
Yan Jinxin said with a flat and serious face, "I'm bothering you."
"Our two brothers are still so polite." Gu Zhao: "Hurry up and clean up."
Needless to say, Gu Zhao, Yan Jingxin had already packed his schoolbag, "Let's go."
Gu Zhao: ...
This meal was a bit late, the main room of Li's house was lit with oil lamps, but there were many people and the atmosphere was lively, and the food was rich, strict and solemn, just about to say thank you and say something similar to Xiaoshu, and then I will trouble Li's family with what to say, Willow swallows first Drooling, "Brother Zhou Zhou, we are all here, Uncle Li, let's eat."
"Let's not talk about coming and eating, the days will be long in the future." Li Da said: "Yan Xiucai is welcome, use your chopsticks."
Strict letter: "Uncle Li, just tell me to be careful in the future."
"Come on, let's eat, we're all welcome."
The willow chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, you're welcome, you're welcome, seeing that Uncle Li moved his chopsticks to eat, he picked up a piece of meat with the chopsticks, before putting it in his mouth, he turned his head to look at the man, the meat on the chopsticks was shaking Shaking again, in the end I was very reluctant to put it in the man's bowl first.
Why do I have to take care of him for a meal?well.
Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou were next to you, and you would pick me a piece of braised pork, and I would scoop you a spoonful of diced chicken. The two of them usually ate like this, and they didn't think it was wrong.Gu Zhao saw that Second Brother Yan was staring at Liu Fulang in the bowl without moving his chopsticks, so he smiled again and said, "Liu Fulang thought of Second Brother at the first bite, will Second Brother send it back?"
With a serious face, Yan Jinxin put vegetables for Xiaoshu.
Willow stared at the vegetables in the bowl, he picked up meat for the man, and the man picked up the vegetables for him, forget it, let him do it himself.
After a meal, Li Zhouzhou and Liu Shu cleaned up the pots and bowls.
Firewood and pots and stoves are all prepared in the yard next door, and if hot water is needed, the Yan family will cook it themselves.Liu Shu said goodbye to Brother Zhou Zhou, and then went back to the next door with his man, chatting non-stop along the way, talking about what he had seen and heard when he came here, saying that a night in the inn in the town was expensive, what he ate, and that grandma and grandma brought What, let's not worry about it at home.
Strict and trustworthy, he likes to be quiet, and he didn't like to listen to such nonsense before, but now he listens to it, with a serious face, his expression has eased a lot, and he still needs to respond from time to time.
Because Xiaoshu said that I've been talking for so long, and my mouth is almost dry, so you don't know what to say, whether you listened to it or not!
The gate is closed.
In the dead of night, after washing.
The curtain of the bed in Li's house was drawn, and Li Zhouzhou was covered in moisture. He had just finished washing, and he pulled his husband's hand into his arms under the quilt. Gu Zhao touched it, and his skin was warm and firm. "Brother Zhou Zhou, do you want me to kiss you? Why are the underwear belts untied?"
"Master." Li Zhouzhou said embarrassedly.
Gu Zhao put his hands on his skin, touched it, and said with a hint of tea, "What is it, Mr. Zhou, why doesn't Brother Zhou call him Xiaozhao? Is Xiaozhao not as nice as Xiaoshu?"
"Xiaoshu and I are brothers, why does Xianggong even eat this jealousy?"
"Not only is he not called Xiao Zhao anymore, he can't even eat vinegar..." Gu Zhao Chacha looked pitifully.
Li Zhouzhou blushed, Xianggong said that he was pitiful, but he was 'bullying' pinching him with his hands, his chest was itchy, and he endured his embarrassment, and said: "It's okay, you can eat whatever you like."
"Will Brother Zhou do it too?"
"Ah."
Just did it once, Gu Zhao was originally making a fuss about Zhou Zhou, and he must have been tired after running back and forth these days, but then it became too much, his family Zhou Zhou is cute, and he looks like you can pick and choose, so it will be a matter of course once.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhao woke up and realized that Brother Yan was next door.In the courtyard next door, Liu Shu woke up early, cooked a pot of multigrain porridge, pasted pancakes, and brought pickles, and he brought a pot of porridge for Zhou Zhou.
Li Zhouzhou thanked him for his kindness, so he didn't have to make breakfast.
After Gu Zhao and Yan Jinxin went to school early, Liu Shu went to the next door to look for Brother Zhou, what should he do?
Li Da went into the water with a cart, and pulled back two pig heads, eight pig trotters, and ten catties of spare ribs.
Get busy.
Things are multiplied and more, there are two shops in the small yard, a big pot stove, and a small stove in the yard, plus the big stove in my own shop can be stewed.When the quantity was set the night before, Li Zhouzhou finished speaking and went to see his husband, "...Is there too much? I think it can be done, even if the buying time is later, I am not afraid."
"It's not too much, it's because Zhou Zhou of my family has courage." Gu Zhao was happy.Since Zhou Zhou opened the shop, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell out every bucket he put in. Now that he has expanded the shop, increased the manpower, and fixed the quantity, he has a certain amount of money in his heart, and he is courageous and confident.
Li Zhouzhou was encouraged and said: "Actually, I thought about it, if there are too many and it is difficult to sell, I can tell the shopkeeper Xu of Jinyu Restaurant, let's sell it at a low price, and we will never lose money. "
"Now renting the yard next door is eight taels a year, and there is still the salary for the small tree, plus the capital and expenses are high, of course it will take more work, otherwise it will be like my husband said, it will be a waste of effort."
Gu Zhao gave his family Zhou Zhou a thumbs up, Zhou Zhou is awesome!
The result is that it can be sold. It used to be over in a moment, but now it is prolonged, and the selling time is only three minutes. Especially Li Ji has been closed for almost a week. The big guys are already greedy and holding back. When the store opens, don’t buy more a few spoonfuls.
As a result, we queued up to see, why did you change the door to the next door?
"I didn't change the next door, it was my house
